I do not want adult Calvin and Hobbes.

Posted by Krusty (aka Krustylu) Jul 26 '21, 13:33

And I certainly don't want anyone besides Watterson making anything with Calvin and Hobbes.

Responses:

It will be issue #1 in Oxymoron Comics -- nm - con_carne Jul 26, 14:32
why not let the creatives Breathed and Watterson do what they want? -- nm - Remlik Jul 26, 14:07 13
- Because Han. Shot. FIRST. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 26, 17:38
- lemme guess, you took James Caan's side in Misery? -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 14:15 1
  - Kathy Bates would have hated Star Wars Last Jedi and the new He-man show. -- nm - Remlik Jul 26, 14:20
- My understanding is it's not Watterson doing the work but Breathed. -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 26, 14:13 3
  - Watterson has approved this. He doesn't approve anything he doesn't like. The strip still exists. But the strip isn't being made anymore. -- nm - Remlik Jul 26, 14:18 2
    - Yeah, he's as famously resistant to selling out as anyone in cartooning. If he's OK with it, I'm no one to judge. -- nm - Reagen Jul 26, 14:28 1
      - He could have millions if he's license these characters. And he simply won't do it. nm - Dean Winchester Jul 26, 14:29
- Isn't that what people said about George Lucas? -- nm - Dean Winchester Jul 26, 14:08 5
  - A somewhat convincing argument could be made that the prequels were better than the sequels. -- nm - Spawn Jul 26, 14:48 3
    - But still no where approaching the originals, yes? -- nm - Dean Winchester Jul 26, 14:51 1
      - Of course not! -- nm - Spawn Jul 26, 15:06
    - ! ! -- nm - mud Jul 26, 14:51
  - or Gene Roddenberry. OR Dave Filinoi, Kathleen Kennedy and others. -- nm - Remlik Jul 26, 14:19
agreed -- nm - mud Jul 26, 13:49
2-1 adult Calvin and Steve Dallas have a lot in common -- nm - rollo Jul 26, 13:45
Eh. Live and let live. I'll probably never see them anyway. Even if I do, the memories of the originals are all still locked. -- nm - VMan Jul 26, 13:43 16
- Calvin being a child is such a major part of the strip. - Krusty Jul 26, 13:47 15
  - I don't mind Calvin growing up - but if he grows up to be a cynical douchebag (ya know....me) that will be horrible. - Dean Winchester Jul 26, 14:02 14
    - A redditor made it and it's pretty incredible. -- (link) - Dean Winchester Jul 26, 14:03 13
      - More stuff for Krusty not to read -- (link) - JD Jul 26, 15:05
      - OMG. As I finished it, Logan surprised me, coming out of his room when I thought he was with Amy, and told me about HS orientation. - Spawn Jul 26, 14:55 7
        
        HS?!?!? -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 15:04 5
        
        Yeah. Three hour orientation today. Tomorrow he gets to go back and wander/memorize his class locations. - Spawn Jul 26, 15:06 4
        
        I felt the first feelings of "old" when the phrase "You're a parent of a High Schooler" was said out loud. - JaxSean Jul 26, 15:45
        
        Jebus. -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 26, 15:24
        
        Dude - I just moved my two into an apartment this weekend. nm - Dean Winchester Jul 26, 15:08 1
        
        Shutupshutupshutup -- nm - Spawn Jul 26, 15:12
        
        Dang - perfect timing. -- nm - Dean Winchester Jul 26, 15:02
      - Yeah, I'm not reading that. -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 14:11 1
        
        Suit yourself. It totally works for me..and like pmb said - a bit dusty. -- nm - Dean Winchester Jul 26, 14:21
      - Jebus it's dusty in here. -- nm - pmb Jul 26, 14:08 1
        
        Right?? -- nm - Dean Winchester Jul 26, 14:09
Are we cool with race swapped The Wonder Years? - IAmQale Jul 26, 13:37 1
- I don't care if they're all aliens. - Krusty Jul 26, 13:39
I'll give Breathed some leeway, especially with Watterson's blessing. But very little leeway - Hobbes needs to stay Hobbes and not - Dean Winchester Jul 26, 13:35 2
- I don't like what I'm reading. Hobbes is now a part of Bloom County?!? WTF? -- (link) - Krusty Jul 26, 13:38
- Hobbes has been in the strip for a while now, since June 6th, I think. -- (link) - mara Jul 26, 13:37
